Beautiful Villa With Own Orchard, Large Private Pool & Luxurious Shaded Area

Great Property and Outdoor Space

We were met by Louise and Steve who were friendly and helpful and showed us the way to the villa. There was a plentiful welcome pack which was fortunate as we had forgotten supermarkets are closed on a Sunday. The pack contained enough for us to eat and drink well until the next day.The villa itself is clean, spacious and well furnished and equipped with plenty of bath and beech towels for use. However, it is the outdoor space which makes this place so special. It is a few minutes drive outside Albox and semi rural so not too isolated. The garden is beautiful and immaculate, the pool was clean and tempting. The pergola was perfect for any time of day from morning coffee to late night caps.We had intended to eat out most evenings but quickly changed our plans and choosing to remain at the villa, eating in the garden every evening.I had some communication with the owner and the responses were very quick and accommodating when we changed our plans last minute.We enjoyed it so much , we have already booked to go again in January.

Just like the pictures.....

The villa is just like the pictures...... It is very clean and beautifully decorated. The furniture is comfortable as were the beds. The cooking facilities were excellent and we also used the BBQ a lot. Lots of kitchen utensils, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans. The grounds outside have a good mix of sunny and shaded areas. We spent many hours under the gazebo which provides shade and the furniture was comfortable. The pool is a very good size, and the sun terrace is a good place to catch the sun. As we had everything we needed, we didn't feel the need to venture far, however we did find a fabulous Tapas Bar in Albox, its on the corner with red parasols. Would highly recommend...

Fabulous holiday in this stunning villa

Fantastic stay at this stunning villa with gorgeous views. The villa has everything you could possibly need from games for the kids to every type of kitchen utensil possible! Fab pool which we used from early morning until midnight swims. Loved the shaded area which gave us a great place to sit out of the sun and looked gorgeous lit up of an evening. Had some great days out and found some beautiful beaches. Overall - fabulous holiday in a beautiful place!

Location

From the Owner

“We went in search of a piece of land that we could build a property to our own specification we found the peace and tranquillity of inland Almeria perfect. The plot was not over looked and we loved the privacy it offered, although not far from the social aspect when desired. The panoramic mountain views are fantastic. The easiness of the location of the villa is perfect, after a short flight and trip along the motorway you can be in the pool in no time at all, surrounded by the established palm trees, relaxing and indulging in the perfect setting, maybe a glass of wine on the patio or sunbathing on the roof terrace or exploring the magnificent orchard, whatever you desire from your holiday we are sure you will find it here.”
